I'm really interested in buying them, and many websites have reviews on them, but I mainly want to know if there are any cheaper alternatives, if I end up choosing these it will be great since they look cool and sound good, but if there are cheaper earphones that sound just as good I will be...

Is anyone working on reviews for these earphones? I have read some on major websites but would like to know the community's opinion, and it seems like this thread has been silent for a few months now. Thanks!

Oh ok, thanks!

I've heard people say that Dolby works better, so I'll probably go with that, but they're expensive :sweat_smile:

That's the thing about the 598's, it doesn't really need an amp since it's only 50 ohms. I may get an amp at one point, but after reading your comment, the next thing I will be buying is a sound card, it will be much better than my onboard Realtek sound card, and will have virtual surround! :)...

I see, so the first thing I should buy is an amp or a sound card, I can probably get one in a couple months, thanks!

Ok! By the way, does burn in only affect sound quality, or does it also affect soundstage?

I recived my 598's from Amazon and they sound amazing! They work well enough for gaming, but I don't have a sound card yet, I'll get a Dolby headphone compatible sound card since you said that works best in a few months

I play FPS', like tf2, that price difference doesn't really matter to me, since I d rather not mod, this is my first "audiophile" headphone. By the way, is the impedance different between the two headphones?

Many people are saying Razer's works best, so that's good, but a problem many people are having is that the software doesn't work well with headphones with a large soundstage. Either way, I'll try it out!

How do they compare to virtual gaming headphones? Do you think that is a gimmick or does that actually work?

many people (on his website) are saying that that modding it doesn't make it sound the same as the 598's

I have read a few comparisons between the two (on this website actually) and I think the HD 598 would be better for me
